About Knowell’s Lock and Safe

Parent Company of The Safe Depot

Knowell’s Lock and Safe, Inc—the parent company of The Safe Depot.com—has been in business since 1978. The founder of our company, Luther Knowell, after retiring from proudly serving in the United States Navy, went to work for another local locksmith. He was surprised to find how much he enjoyed the work, and often would remark, “It’s nice to be able to make a living doing what I consider to be a hobby.” After seven years, Luther would go on to start Knowell’s Lock & Safe out of the trunk of the family car. Before long, he had purchased company vans, and recruited other family members as employees. Today, Knowell’s Lock and Safe has three generations operating the family business. Knowell’s Lock and Safe is located in Jacksonville Florida, and ships safes virtually anywhere in the continental United States.

The Safe Depot knows how much peace of mind a safe can provide to homeowners and businessmen alike. Everyone deserves to go about their day knowing that their valuables are as secure as possible. For this reason, The Safe Depot offers a wide variety of safes for your home, office and even your recreational vehicle. We provide the finest, quality safes at the best value to meet your specific needs, be it wall safes, floor safes, liberty gun safes, fire security safes, home and office cobalt safes, or even vault doors!

While managing our impressive safe showroom, Knowell’s Lock and Safe also functions as a local, Jacksonville locksmith. Operating in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, our experienced staff can help you by making duplicate keys, rekeying or master keying your locks, unlocking homes and business, installing and repairing both locks and door closers, replacing storefront locks and pivots, and much more!
